The council named above is the same council that made a man redundant 2 weeks before his 60th birthday, so they could save the long service increment and thus increased redundancy pay they'd have to award him if he'd been employed by them for 10 years.

That's Weymouth or West Dorset? It'd be useful to know, because, regardless of what they do about folk music, the people who did something like that deserve to be pilloried, shunned and humiliated.

Give us the details, Liz, and maybe we can have a Song Challenge about it.
